Third Lanark Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yip, for once a half decent draw (on paper anyway!) yep and as it's unusual tie probably a far better attendance than if we played someone like Inverness, Ross county or st Johnstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Shame it's not Formartine away although a decent draw. They've not done away with replays, have they? Tie of the round could be Bonnyrigg Rose V Hibs. Bit of work for Rose to do at Dumbarton first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Very decent draw. And with at least 2 premiership teams guaranteed to go out, we could be on for a wee run. But one game at a time blah blah blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Time to raise the perennial quandary: Scottish Cup Champions and relegated or Premiership Survival and out of the Cup (at any stage) ? For me until very recently it would have been the latter, but these days..... Edited November 29, 2016 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I would happily trade relegation for a Scottish Cup win. There's not a single man or woman alive who has ever seen us win it. Plus it would mean seeing us play European football. Two things that most jags fans have never seen and may not likely see again. You would be mad not to trade it off for relegation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I must agree with ian on this. Everyone would remember the day we won the Scottish Cup for the rest of their life but you would forget the relegation very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Speak to any Hibs fan and they will tell you that 3+ seasons in the championship was well worth it for the cup win they enjoyed this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Speak to any Hibs fan and they will tell you that 3+ seasons in the championship was well worth it for the cup win they enjoyed this year. Agreed. Relegation is something we can all relate to, winning the cup would put all those years of pain to bed! Also, doing it the Hibs way with a last minute winner against Rangers, not sure it would get much sweeter than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Forget winning the Cup. First and foremost the ultimate glory has to be to be gaining a top six place. Just imagine sitting your grandchildren on your knees* and proudly telling them of the day we didn't concede a late goal and, with Motherwell only drawing at home against Killie, we gained a top six place due to superior goal difference. Get ambitious, folks. That's true glory. * difficult if you've more than two grandchildren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) She tuned in on the wireless She was not alone. Legend has it, the game was boycotted and attendance was low, because it was moved to Parkheid and the prices were hiked up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_vfOMQPNMY As a boy, in the mid '80s, I used to sit in the centre stand near a guy who did claim "I was there". "Auld Murdo". Anyone else remember him? My memory is of a bunnet and club tie wearing fan, unassuming, smiling, white haired old gent in a trenchcoat. He wasn't at every game, and I didn't really speak to him as much or in depth, as I wish I could now. However, I do vaguely remember him telling me he set off from North Woodside road, went on one of the old horse drawn brakes to the east end , there was indeed much grumblin about the entry charge, it wasn't a very good game and he didn't have a very good view of the goal ( shite view away at parkheid, who'd have imagined? ) cause he was right down the front of the terrace and there were railings in the way... Though, some of that might be mixed up with other accounts I've read or heard. ... I also seem to remember him saying the polis had the batons oot cause people were climbing the walls and rushing the turnstiles, and that he reckoned it was local celtic fans because alot of jags and h*ns stayed home due to the price hike and inside it was a very mixed crowd and strange atmosphere.... not that it spoiled his day though! ETA ... "Auld Murdo" - North West Bus man? Edited November 30, 2016 by ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulguy jag Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 My father was born in 1910 and was a great jags man . He told me the cup was paraded around the schools in Maryhill and he had the privilege of holding it aloft at his own school . He died in 1995. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
